“An icon of the Roussillon”

Already well-known, the La Petite Sibérie cuvée has become an icon of the Roussillon region. Made from a small plot of old vines, this Grenache-dominant wine captivates from the very first whiff with its notes of vanilla, blackberry compote, blackcurrant, and blueberry pie. On the palate, revealing fine, delicate tannins, it is enveloped in a veil of freshness and character that is most pleasant. A wine that can be cellared for over fifteen years and will leave you with an unforgettable memory.

About the estate:

Hervé Bizeul, a winemaker and maverick writer, has little left to prove, as his estate ranks among the elite of Roussillon. Yet this does not stop him from constantly challenging himself, exploring new avenues, innovating, thinking outside the box, and creating new vintages. A prime example is his Pinot Noir, which came out of nowhere and bravely withstands the harsh sun and the Tramontane winds of the Agly Valley. Here, each cuvée displays a personality all its own, sometimes uncompromising, just like its winemaker. From no fewer than seven different terroirs emerges a serious and diverse interpretation of Roussillon. A model of its kind.
